|  | Survival in Auschwitz by Primo Levi
Originally entitled, IF THIS IS A MAN, Levi's narrative of his experiences at Auschwitz is unique among Holocaust memoirs for its simplicity, its lack of self-pity, and its objectivity; he often emphasizes not his own sufferings but the many instances of goodness he found among his fellow prisoners. In an appendix, Levi stated: [I]n writing this book, I deliberately took on the calm and sober language of a witness, not the plaintive tone of a victim or the outrage of an avenger.

 | Breaking the Godspell by Neil Freer, Zecharia Sitchin
Breaking the Godspell: The Politics of Our Evolution, by Neil Freer. Freer explores the archaeological, astronomical & genetic evidence for our being a half-alien, genetically engineered species. He presents the mind-boggling ramifications of this new paradigm which correct & resolve the Creationist-Evolutionary conflict, afford a generic definition of human nature & the potential to rethink the planet. We are about to step out of racial adolescence into stellar society. Zecharia Sitchin, author of The 12th Plant writes It is gratifying that a mere decade after the publication of my work, an author with the grasp that Neil Freer displays in Breaking the Godspell has set out to probe what the recognition of the existence & Earth-visits of the Nefilim can mean - not just to scientists & theologians - but to each human being upon this planet Earth. Timothy Leary, author of Info-Psychology wrote Breaking the Godspell is a stimulating, startling, engrossing, thought-provoking work. The author, Neil Freer is a major philosophic voice. He weaves together an amazing mosaic of archaeology, myth, history, comparative religion, mixed in with innovative perspectives from genetics, information theory, psychology & neurology. This book is an encyclopedia of innovative ideas & engaging speculation. It will alter your consciousness. It could change your life. AUTHOR: Neil Freer, Zecharia Sitchin
